Teeverb Revival With Cursive Script

Post by Tuslaven Kukristo »

So, last year I made a conlang that I used quite a lot called Teeverb Kuluxem. But after becoming really good at Spanish, my drive to use Teeverb lessened and I stopped using it. Well, this summer I'm reviving Teeverb and am going to write a journal using it. Now it had two scripts: one standard left to right, and one cursive (Arabic style) right to left. I couldn't write or read the cursive script fast enough for it to be anything more than a cool thing to use once and forget, but I have found myself actually able to read and write it proficiently now so I'm going to use that script. Tell me what y'all think about it:

How the cursive script functions:
Spoiler:
In a very similar way to how Arabic has 3 forms (not including solo forms) of each letter, the "royal script" as it's called has 4 forms: initial, ario-medial, full-medial, and final.

This script uses diacritics for vowels and has one "א" consonant for when two vowels are back to back, or when the word begins or ends in a vowel.

All 2 letter (consonant) words follow this pattern: Initial + final
All 3 letter (consonant) words follow this pattern: Initial + full-medial + final
All 4 letter (consonant) words follow this pattern: Initial + full-medial + areo-medial + final
5 letter: ini + full + areo + full + final
6 letter: ini + full + areo + full + areo + fin
etc...

this makes a kind of "N" pattern.

initials generally look something like:
╔══════╗
║---------║
║---▒▒▒▒║
║---------║
║---------║
╚══════╝

full-medials generally look something like:
╔══════╗
║---------║
║------▒-║
║-▒----▒-║
║-▒▒▒▒▒║
╚══════╝

areo-medials generally look something like:
╔══════╗
║-▒▒▒▒▒-║
║-------▒-║
║---------║
║---------║
╚══════╝

full-medials generally look something like:
╔══════╗
║------▒-║
║-▒----▒-║
║-▒----▒-║
║-▒▒▒▒▒║
╚══════╝

This makes a kind of "N" pattern:
╔════════════════════╗
║-----------▒▒▒▒▒-----------║
║--------▒---▒---------▒▒▒▒-║
║---▒----▒-------▒----▒------║
║---▒▒▒▒--------▒▒▒▒▒------║
╚════════════════════╝
